@esperanzam wonderful, this makes me smile that the medicine really works. we were married for 32 years and that is what I tell people we had 32 great years together, he also had agent orange and high blood pressure . we did raise our 2 daughters and son to get them through college. I am truly blessed, another person shared a new medicine that was just approved by FDA. I will talk to my Oncologist on my next appointment. My platelets have been in the 200s for the last year which is where they always stayed on all my blood test. Happy you met someone to continue your life with. I met someone as well, he is a great guy we have been dating for 3 years its different when you have been with someone for 32 years . I am adjusting. have a great day.

As I re-read my note to you, I realized a small error. I said my first husband and I had 19 years, but that was after the cancer diagnosis. We had 6 1/2 years before the diagnosis, so we enjoyed 25 1/2 years before he passed. Our boys were 3 and 5 when he first was diagnosed and 22 and 24 when he passed. So he was able to be there for them and it made all the difference.
THANKFUL.
